如何遍历 JSONObject？

Question

I use a JSON library called JSONObject (I don't mind switching if I need to).

I know how to iterate over JSONArrays , but when I parse JSON data from Facebook I don't get an array, only a JSONObject , but I need to be able to access an item via its index, such as JSONObject[0] to get the first one, and I can't figure out how to do it.

{
   "http://http://url.com/": {
      "id": "http://http://url.com//"
   },
   "http://url2.co/": {
      "id": "http://url2.com//",
      "shares": 16
   }
   ,
   "http://url3.com/": {
      "id": "http://url3.com//",
      "shares": 16
   }
}

Answer 1

Maybe this will help:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(contents.trim());
Iterator<String> keys = jsonObject.keys();

while(keys.hasNext()) {
    String key = keys.next();
    if (jsonObject.get(key) instanceof JSONObject) {
          // do something with jsonObject here      
    }
}

Answer 2

for my case i found iterating the names() works well

for(int i = 0; i<jobject.names().length(); i++){
    Log.v(TAG, "key = " + jobject.names().getString(i) + " value = " + jobject.get(jobject.names().getString(i)));
}

Answer 3

I will avoid iterator as they can add/remove object during iteration, also for clean code use for loop. it will be simply clean & fewer lines.

Using Java 8 and Lamda [Update 4/2/2019]

import org.json.JSONObject;

public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    jsonObj.keySet().forEach(keyStr ->
    {
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        //if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
        //    printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    });
}

Using old way [Update 4/2/2019]

import org.json.JSONObject;

public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    for (String keyStr : jsonObj.keySet()) {
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);

        //Print key and value
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        //if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
        //    printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    }
}

Original Answer

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
public static void printJsonObject(JSONObject jsonObj) {
    for (Object key : jsonObj.keySet()) {
        //based on you key types
        String keyStr = (String)key;
        Object keyvalue = jsonObj.get(keyStr);

        //Print key and value
        System.out.println("key: "+ keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);

        //for nested objects iteration if required
        if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject)
            printJsonObject((JSONObject)keyvalue);
    }
}

Answer 4

Can't believe that there is no more simple and secured solution than using an iterator in this answers...

JSONObject names () method returns a JSONArray of the JSONObject keys, so you can simply walk though it in loop:

JSONObject object = new JSONObject ();
JSONArray keys = object.names ();

for (int i = 0; i < keys.length (); i++) {
   
   String key = keys.getString (i); // Here's your key
   String value = object.getString (key); // Here's your value
   
}

Answer 5

Iterator<JSONObject> iterator = jsonObject.values().iterator();

while (iterator.hasNext()) {
 jsonChildObject = iterator.next();

 // Do whatever you want with jsonChildObject 

  String id = (String) jsonChildObject.get("id");
}

Answer 6

org.json.JSONObject 现在有一个 keySet() 方法，它返回一个Set<String>并且可以很容易地用 for-each 循环。

for(String key : jsonObject.keySet())

Answer 7

First put this somewhere:

private <T> Iterable<T> iteratorToIterable(final Iterator<T> iterator) {
    return new Iterable<T>() {
        @Override
        public Iterator<T> iterator() {
            return iterator;
        }
    };
}

Or if you have access to Java8, just this:

private <T> Iterable<T> iteratorToIterable(Iterator<T> iterator) {
    return () -> iterator;
}

Then simply iterate over the object's keys and values:

for (String key : iteratorToIterable(object.keys())) {
    JSONObject entry = object.getJSONObject(key);
    // ...

Answer 8

Most of the answers here are for flat JSON structures, in case you have a JSON which might have nested JSONArrays or Nested JSONObjects, the real complexity arises. The following code snippet takes care of such a business requirement. It takes a hash map, and hierarchical JSON with both nested JSONArrays and JSONObjects and updates the JSON with the data in the hash map

public void updateData(JSONObject fullResponse, HashMap<String, String> mapToUpdate) {

    fullResponse.keySet().forEach(keyStr -> {
        Object keyvalue = fullResponse.get(keyStr);

        if (keyvalue instanceof JSONArray) {
            updateData(((JSONArray) keyvalue).getJSONObject(0), mapToUpdate);
        } else if (keyvalue instanceof JSONObject) {
            updateData((JSONObject) keyvalue, mapToUpdate);
        } else {
            // System.out.println("key: " + keyStr + " value: " + keyvalue);
            if (mapToUpdate.containsKey(keyStr)) {
                fullResponse.put(keyStr, mapToUpdate.get(keyStr));
            }
        }
    });

}

You have to notice here that the return type of this is void, but sice objects are passed as refernce this change is refelected to the caller.

Answer 9

I made a small recursive function that goes through the entire json object and saves the key path and its value.

// My stored keys and values from the json object
HashMap<String,String> myKeyValues = new HashMap<String,String>();

// Used for constructing the path to the key in the json object
Stack<String> key_path = new Stack<String>();

// Recursive function that goes through a json object and stores 
// its key and values in the hashmap 
private void loadJson(JSONObject json){
    Iterator<?> json_keys = json.keys();

    while( json_keys.hasNext() ){
        String json_key = (String)json_keys.next();

        try{
            key_path.push(json_key);
            loadJson(json.getJSONObject(json_key));
       }catch (JSONException e){
           // Build the path to the key
           String key = "";
           for(String sub_key: key_path){
               key += sub_key+".";
           }
           key = key.substring(0,key.length()-1);

           System.out.println(key+": "+json.getString(json_key));
           key_path.pop();
           myKeyValues.put(key, json.getString(json_key));
        }
    }
    if(key_path.size() > 0){
        key_path.pop();
    }
}

Answer 10

With Java 8 and lambda, cleaner:

JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(contents.trim());

jObject.keys().forEachRemaining(k ->
{

});

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.html#forEachRemaining-java.util.function.Consumer-

Answer 11

We used below set of code to iterate over JSONObject fields

Iterator iterator = jsonObject.entrySet().iterator();

while (iterator.hasNext())  {
        Entry<String, JsonElement> entry = (Entry<String, JsonElement>) iterator.next();
        processedJsonObject.add(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}

Answer 12

I once had a json that had ids that needed to be incremented by one since they were 0-indexed and that was breaking Mysql auto-increment.

So for each object I wrote this code - might be helpful to someone:

public static void  incrementValue(JSONObject obj, List<String> keysToIncrementValue) {
        Set<String> keys = obj.keySet();
        for (String key : keys) {
            Object ob = obj.get(key);

            if (keysToIncrementValue.contains(key)) {
                obj.put(key, (Integer)obj.get(key) + 1);
            }

            if (ob instanceof JSONObject) {
                incrementValue((JSONObject) ob, keysToIncrementValue);
            }
            else if (ob instanceof JSONArray) {
                JSONArray arr = (JSONArray) ob;
                for (int i=0; i < arr.length(); i++) {
                    Object arrObj = arr.get(0);
                    if (arrObj instanceof JSONObject) {
                        incrementValue((JSONObject) arrObj, keysToIncrementValue);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

usage:

JSONObject object = ....
incrementValue(object, Arrays.asList("id", "product_id", "category_id", "customer_id"));

this can be transformed to work for JSONArray as parent object too

Answer 13

I made my small method to log JsonObject fields, and get some stings. See if it can be usefull.

object JsonParser {

val TAG = "JsonParser"
 /**
 * parse json object
 * @param objJson
 * @return  Map<String, String>
 * @throws JSONException
 */
@Throws(JSONException::class)
fun parseJson(objJson: Any?): Map<String, String> {
    val map = HashMap<String, String>()

    // If obj is a json array
    if (objJson is JSONArray) {
        for (i in 0 until objJson.length()) {
            parseJson(objJson[i])
        }
    } else if (objJson is JSONObject) {
        val it: Iterator<*> = objJson.keys()
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            val key = it.next().toString()
            // If you get an array
            when (val jobject = objJson[key]) {
                is JSONArray -> {
                    Log.e(TAG, " JSONArray: $jobject")
                    parseJson(jobject)
                }
                is JSONObject -> {
                    Log.e(TAG, " JSONObject: $jobject")
                    parseJson(jobject)
                }
                else -> {
                    Log.e(TAG, " adding to map: $key $jobject")
                    map[key] = jobject.toString()
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return map
}
}

Answer 14

The simpler approach is (just found on W3Schools):

let data = {.....}; // JSON Object
for(let d in data){
    console.log(d); // It gives you property name
    console.log(data[d]); // And this gives you its value
}

UPDATE

This approach works fine until you deal with the nested object so this approach will work.

const iterateJSON = (jsonObject, output = {}) => {
  for (let d in jsonObject) {
    if (typeof jsonObject[d] === "string") {
      output[d] = jsonObject[d];
    }
    if (typeof jsonObject[d] === "object") {
      output[d] = iterateJSON(jsonObject[d]);
    }
  }
  return output;
}

And use the method like this

let output = iterateJSON(your_json_object);

Answer 15

Below code worked fine for me. Please help me if tuning can be done. This gets all the keys even from the nested JSON objects.

public static void main(String args[]) {
    String s = ""; // Sample JSON to be parsed

    JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
    JSONObject obj = null;
    try {
        obj = (JSONObject) parser.parse(s);
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<String> parameterKeys = new ArrayList<String>(obj.keySet());
        List<String>  result = null;
        List<String> keys = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String str : parameterKeys) {
            keys.add(str);
            result = this.addNestedKeys(obj, keys, str);
        }
        System.out.println(result.toString());
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
public static List<String> addNestedKeys(JSONObject obj, List<String> keys, String key) {
    if (isNestedJsonAnArray(obj.get(key))) {
        JSONArray array = (JSONArray) obj.get(key);
        for (int i = 0; i < array.length(); i++) {
            try {
                JSONObject arrayObj = (JSONObject) array.get(i);
                List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(arrayObj.keySet());
                for (String s : list) {
                    putNestedKeysToList(keys, key, s);
                    addNestedKeys(arrayObj, keys, s);
                }
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                LOG.error("", e);
            }
        }
    } else if (isNestedJsonAnObject(obj.get(key))) {
        JSONObject arrayObj = (JSONObject) obj.get(key);
        List<String> nestedKeys = new ArrayList<>(arrayObj.keySet());
        for (String s : nestedKeys) {
            putNestedKeysToList(keys, key, s);
            addNestedKeys(arrayObj, keys, s);
        }
    }
    return keys;
}

private static void putNestedKeysToList(List<String> keys, String key, String s) {
    if (!keys.contains(key + Constants.JSON_KEY_SPLITTER + s)) {
        keys.add(key + Constants.JSON_KEY_SPLITTER + s);
    }
}



private static boolean isNestedJsonAnObject(Object object) {
    boolean bool = false;
    if (object instanceof JSONObject) {
        bool = true;
    }
    return bool;
}

private static boolean isNestedJsonAnArray(Object object) {
    boolean bool = false;
    if (object instanceof JSONArray) {
        bool = true;
    }
    return bool;
}

Answer 16

This is is another working solution to the problem:

public void test (){

    Map<String, String> keyValueStore = new HasMap<>();
    Stack<String> keyPath = new Stack();
    JSONObject json = new JSONObject("thisYourJsonObject");
    keyValueStore = getAllXpathAndValueFromJsonObject(json, keyValueStore, keyPath);
    for(Map.Entry<String, String> map : keyValueStore.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(map.getKey() + ":" + map.getValue());
    }   
}

public Map<String, String> getAllXpathAndValueFromJsonObject(JSONObject json, Map<String, String> keyValueStore, Stack<String> keyPath) {
    Set<String> jsonKeys = json.keySet();
    for (Object keyO : jsonKeys) {
        String key = (String) keyO;
        keyPath.push(key);
        Object object = json.get(key);

        if (object instanceof JSONObject) {
            getAllXpathAndValueFromJsonObject((JSONObject) object, keyValueStore, keyPath);
        }

        if (object instanceof JSONArray) {
            doJsonArray((JSONArray) object, keyPath, keyValueStore, json, key);
        }

        if (object instanceof String || object instanceof Boolean || object.equals(null)) {
            String keyStr = "";

            for (String keySub : keyPath) {
                keyStr += keySub + ".";
            }

            keyStr = keyStr.substring(0, keyStr.length() - 1);

            keyPath.pop();

            keyValueStore.put(keyStr, json.get(key).toString());
        }
    }

    if (keyPath.size() > 0) {
        keyPath.pop();
    }

    return keyValueStore;
}

public void doJsonArray(JSONArray object, Stack<String> keyPath, Map<String, String> keyValueStore, JSONObject json,
        String key) {
    JSONArray arr = (JSONArray) object;
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++) {
        keyPath.push(Integer.toString(i));
        Object obj = arr.get(i);
        if (obj instanceof JSONObject) {
            getAllXpathAndValueFromJsonObject((JSONObject) obj, keyValueStore, keyPath);
        }

        if (obj instanceof JSONArray) {
            doJsonArray((JSONArray) obj, keyPath, keyValueStore, json, key);
        }

        if (obj instanceof String || obj instanceof Boolean || obj.equals(null)) {
            String keyStr = "";

            for (String keySub : keyPath) {
                keyStr += keySub + ".";
            }

            keyStr = keyStr.substring(0, keyStr.length() - 1);

            keyPath.pop();

            keyValueStore.put(keyStr , json.get(key).toString());
        }
    }
    if (keyPath.size() > 0) {
        keyPath.pop();
    }
}
